Story

A man from Afghanistan, aged 25, was arrested in Germany for trying to kill people with a knife at an event against "political Islam." Six people got hurt, including a police officer who was badly injured. The man had been living in Germany since 2014, was married, and had two kids. The police found digital devices in his home and are checking what's on them. The man got shot by the police and is now in the hospital, unable to talk. He had no criminal record before this incident. The group organizing the event, Pax Europa, warns about the dangers of "political Islam." The man who got hurt, Michael Stürzenberger, is against Islam and was also injured. He shared a photo from the hospital showing his injuries. The other victims were men aged 25, 36, 42, and 54. The 25-year-old man left the hospital, but the others are still getting medical care. The 54-year-old man was in critical condition but is now stable. The police haven't said where the suspect is from or how he got to Germany.
